As noted below this is an old original hotel. The Lloyds part of it is down to the left as you enter the main building. It's a rambling old place with various rooms and a small bar near the entrance and a larger one at the back. The rooms are carpeted and the usual furnishings are crammed in. The small bar has two sets of three hand pumps which just had Abbot, Doom Bore doubled. The larger bar has two sets of five hand pumps which had the JDW Trio Of Doom and an unavailable "International" beer by Caledonian doubled, Addlestones Cider and Exmoor Stallion. I went for the Exmoor Stallion (£2.35) which was in good condition but rather dull. After that I discovered there was a box of Stan's Cider (£2.55) in a fridge. This is potentially a good Spoons but was completely let down by the poor beer choice.
